You have a few options:

- Your story didn't fail. It just didn't find its audience on that site. Post it somewhere else.
- Your story didn't fail. It just didn't find its audience right now. Post it again in six months.
- Your story didn't fail. It just needs an editor (or at least a beta reader). Find someone to read it and help you improve it.
- Your story didn't fail. It just needs some work. Put it away for three months and work on something else (which may or may not be writing). Come back to it three months from now and re-read it with fresh eyes, and you'll see a whole bunch of things you can fix.
- Your story didn't fail. You are relying on outside influences to encourage you to write, which means the story is not burning a hole in your head to be told. Put it away until you itch so badly to work on it that you have to pick it up again.
